Dartford Tunnel Charge

[King29]

Back in August I borrowed a van off a mate to collect something and needed to use the Dartford Tunnel. I never knew there was a charge. Went on a Sunday in July, collected what I needed to and all was good. The van belongs to a mates business, dropped van back to him day after, all good.

He was closed to Covid, apart from lending me the van his business stayed shut. Today he's gone back to find a letter demanding monies for the charge and then the charge that was ignored has increased, they said they sent a letter but he never received one. He got one letter, most recent and they want over £100. £100 for a poxy £3 crossing. I never knew there was a charge to be paid.

Anyone help or advise with this. There seems to be very little correspondence details on the letter, only a number thats automated to pay your fine.

Yeah it's not exactly ambiguous. Apart from the signs the motorway matrix after the crossing is almost permanently set to "Pay Dart charge by midnight tomorrow"

Just pay the goddam fine and try to avoid having your mate dropped more in the shit than you already have done.

Consider it a "poor obs tax".

I have the rage today.
OP and his stupid thread are not helping.
I'm coming out of this thread before I smash my own telly in a fit of King29-induced angst.

Some days, BCF feels like an episode of The Fast Show, and King29 is the BCF equivalent of Swiss Toni, the one whose face you just want to punch until it looks like a blue waffle.

I live 250 miles away from Dartford in West wales. I know that there is a charge to use the tunnel/ bridge , I don't know how much , but I know I have to pay something. If you didn't know about it then it's like "welcome to our planet".

The last time I went over that bridge you threw coins in a basket.

Come on, everyone and the ship's cat knows there is a charge for the crossing. It pop's up in the news every so often when someone gets caught out and people moan what a sh1t system it is.

They should put your life story on East Enders or Corrie, except no one would believe it was realistic.

Shittest most unbelievable excuse ever. You'd have been better off saying you thought the thing was on Dart Charge, innocent mistake, etc.

Still hope you get away without paying the penalty.

Was your life so full of mishaps before you joined BCF?
